*I Page 2 --The Michigan Daily- Tuesday, October 6, 1992 OUT Continued from page 1 "I taught a love and relationships course in 1988 in which I mentioned my partner. (My sexual orientation) came out in the process of a lecture," Ore said. "If I was teaching biologi- cal chemistry, I don't think it would come out." Law Prof. David L. Chanbers said he feels his position at the U-M made it easier for him to reveal his sexual orientation. "I'm in a lucky position, being tenured and being at the law school, an especially hospitable part of the university. I don't experience being treated differently but whether my words are valued in the same way that they were before is much harder for me to determine," Chambers said. The choice to come out is not al- ways a positive experience for U-M faculty and staff. The reactions from the areas in which they work can be problematic due to people's biases and irrational fears. "Many people I know within the institution talk to me and are in ter- ror," Chambers said. "It comes from being within departments of the uni- versity where they believe that they'll be punished if they come out." To remedy this problem, Soto suggested, "It would be good when someone comes for an interview at an institution to know that it is okay to come out and say that you are gay. You should not have the fear that you would not get the position because of (your sexual orientation)." Billie Edwards, co-coordinator of the Lesbian Gay Male Programs Office, said she feels that the atti- tudes toward homosexual U-M faculty and staff depend on the department. "Some departments have excel- lent reputation for being secure. For others, it is the kiss of death to come out," Edwards said. "It is an indica- tion of how cold the climate is for lesbians and gay males to come out." Virginia Gordan, assistant dean of students at the law school, said a person is always concerned with being viewing through a screen. "(You become) 'the gay person' or 'the lesbian,' as a single issue per- son. Of course it is an important as- pect of your life, but it is not the only aspect," she said. Ore said she fecls that the U-M should be ashamed of its behavior toward gay and lesbian groups on campas. "The university needs to do a whole hell of a lot more. People are afraid to come out because of the things they've seen happen to Inc," she said. "It takes pioneering people to have the audacity to challenge the status quo," Winters said. "We would like the rest of society to just get over it. All we really ask is that society be neutral on this issue. At present, it's not." Ore said most students have a positive reaction to her decision to reveal her sexual orientation. "I be- come an ally, not a threat for lesbian and gay students," Ore said. "If I can be a role model, I un glad I was there." 01 I I it~ "*N CODE Continued from page 1 adding that U-M administrators were adamant about barring representation.

"Last year, I had only eight students in my Italian class, which made it possible for one-on- one conversation," he said. "This semester, it is a lot more crowded and I can tell the difference." Yet some students are satisfied with their current class size. Amy Silverstone, an LSA first- year student, said, "Classes aren't necessarily supposed to be one-on- one. In general, questions are asked and answered." DeKay said he also feels that a class size o 3( or more students is not necessarily too Lu!re. ma o Mayo Medical Center Nursing Recruitment P.O.

For the past two years, Ann Ar- bor police have been promoting crime prevention, public safety and consumer education relating to ATMs. Through interviews with special- ists and financial institutions, police have researched ways to prevent ATM crime. Mayo Foundation is an affirmative action and equal opportunity educator and employer. A smoke-free institution. "We discussed site designs, model guidelines, assessment o risks, pol- icy statements, camera considera- tions, consumer education and general security," Wright said. Local financial institutions be- came involved in statewide and na- tional campaigns to enhance security and public education. The cam- paign's task force included represen- tatives from Cirrus, American Ex- press and the Consumer Bankers Association. One member of the task force, Barry Schriber of the University of St. Cloud in St. Cloud, Minn., has studied ATM crime in the United States for the last five years. In a 1989 study, he reported that 20 percent of customers who were robbed resisted the assaulter. Eigh- teen percent of those who resisted the assaulter were injured as a result. Eleven percent of those who were in- jured brought lawsuits against banking institutions. The study recommended that law officials start tracking types of ATM crime, improve communication with the financial community and work directly with financial institutions on crime-related issues. Last spring, Magicline - an ATM system - in conjunction with the Ann Arbor Police Department and the Michigan Association of Chiefs of Police, sponsored a 30- second public service announcement about ATM safety, which aired throughout Michigan. They also produced a video to help financial institutions educate employees about ATM security. "Most law enforcements don't track specific ATM crimes to that finesse. If reported, we list it under financial crime, and work on taking better preventive measures," Wright said. "There are general safety tips that everyone should know," Magicline president J1im Ou tland sidl. Outland advises the following safety tips for A''M users: Choose a well-lit ATM and park close if you are driving; At night, be accompanied by someone else; Have your card ready and fill out all forms before using machine; Stand directly in front of ma- chine so that nobody else can see your personal identification number; Push "cancel" if anyone nearby appeu-s suspicious; Put cash in your pocket immediately and count it later, and; If you are followed after using an ATM, go to a public area where people are around. "In general, when selecting an ATM, find a well-lit one in a high traffic area where others are around. Use common sense," Outland said. The task force also suggested guidelines for financial institutions about selecting locations for ATM machines, providing adequate light- ing and maintaining visibility, he ,a--d. Although statistics show that ATM crime is uncommon, it is not uniformly defined by law enforce- ment agencies. Only a few police agencies have specific departments for ATM crime. And nationally, in- cidents are under-reported, Outland said. "We're just like the rest of soci- ety - we're subject to crime," he concluded. "It really does depend on the class. Some classes just do not re- quire as much discussion as others," he said. John Cross, associate dean of budget for LSA, said a lack of funds prevents the hiring of additional TAs. "The issue is faculty and TA budget. If there is money to hire more TAs, we will do it," he said. In the past, LSA has been able to hire additional TAs when a specific class is too large. "We were able to decrease the size of English 125 classes from 25 students to 22," Cross added. CAMPAIGN Continued from page 1 Clinton said: "I think it's uncertainty over President Bush's economic program and the performance of America." Stock prices later rebounded to regain most of the fall. The decline clearly focused new political atten- tion on the weak U.S. economy, Clinton said the stock market's teetering "reflects the larger trends and long-term poor economic performance." 'One of the things that I would like to say to the markets'is relax. Calm down. Help is on the way," Clinton asserted. Some analysts have suggested that uncertainty about a prospective Clinton presidency was contributing to some of the market's instability. Said Clinton: "I think once the election is over, if we prevail, we can send a clear signal to those mar- kets that we're going to move this country in the right direction. We're going to take the deficit down, take investment up and get economic growth going." Bush accused Democrats of load- ing up a catchall tax bill with new tax increase proposals. The bill would expand tax-de- ductible Individual Retirement Accounts, offer incentives for job creation in blighted areas and ladle out tax breaks to targeted groups. , I I KIDDER, PEABODY & CO.
